Back to the Future II made a claim to fortune in 1985, declaring the Chicago Cubs would sweep Miami in five games.

Now, the Cubs are back in the World Series spotlight for the first time in 71 years, facing a team with a World Series drought nearly as long - the Cleveland Indians. For Cleveland, their last World Series win was in 1948 - just three years after the Cubs' last appearance in the Fall Classic.
